Topological Superconductivity in Two Dimensions with Mixed Chirality

Abstract

We find a mixed chirality dd-wave superconducting state in the coexistence region between antiferromagnetism and interaction-driven superconductivity in lightly doped honeycomb materials. This state has a topological chiral d+idd+id-wave symmetry in one Dirac valley but didd-id-wave symmetry in the other valley and hosts two counter-propagating edge states, protected in the absence of intervalley scattering. A first-order topological phase transition, with no bulk gap closing, separates the chiral dd-wave state at small magnetic moments from the mixed chirality dd-wave phase.
